We must not get here very often, because any test of an error
from XFS_BUF_SET_PTR will fail because it  returns whatever
is sent in as cnt.  Fix the macro to return 0 so that
"error = XFS_BUF_SET_PTR()" works as expected.

Should probably make this xfs_buf_associate_memory() to be
more like kernelspace, but for now just fix up the bug.

Found this via xfs_logprint failing for no good reason.

There are only two callers of this macro and it's not exported to
xfslibs headers, so why not just fix them not to care about the return
value?

because it marginally matches kernel code ... *shrug* I'd rather
have libxlog diverge less from kernel, not more, overall.
